Blake's line from Jerusalem, 'What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, and eternal death': what one imagines and accepts is real for oneself and bears its consequences, so beliefs are never harmless.

Own wordings
It is a simple truth about the law of assumption, and a warning of the consequences of its misuse

What you believe to be the real physical world is actually only an assumptive world
